    Thank you for choosing West Virginia Northern Community College to further your education. Below are several items you need to know in order to begin the Subsance Abuse Technician/Intervention application process. Incomplete applications cannot be considered.

    1. In order to apply you must:
      • Complete the online form below.
      • Upon successful completion of this application, you will receive an acceptance letter admitting you to the college and an email giving you access to a Brightspace Application Hub for the program to which you are applying. Program acceptance will come from the individual program director after the application deadline.
      • Once you receive access to the Brightspace Application Hub you will follow all instructions for submitting requirements.
      • Have official high school and all prior college transcripts sent to registrar@wvncc.edu directly from each institution.
      • Submit three Substance Abuse Intervention reference forms.
    2.  Selection of candidates is continuous and early application is highly recommended. Important information is communicated to applicants via WVNCC student email. It is the responsibility of the applicant to check this email regularly.
    3. Official transcripts should arrive sufficiently prior to the deadline to allow at least 10 business days for processing.
    4. Requirements for selection are minimal and must be met prior to review of the application. The majority of candidates exceed these requirements and, therefore, meeting the minimum criteria does not guarantee acceptance into a program. Selection of the class is at the discretion of program officials and is final.

    IMPORTANT: If you have ever been convicted of a felony or misdemeanor for any reason, state and national credentialing boards, licensing boards, and other agencies which require criminal background checks on potential employees and students may deny you employment or placement in certain settings, even if you have completed all academic requirements. Please contact the Program Director if you have any questions.
